Franklin Delano Roosevelt

"The author of a splendid, Newbery Award-winning Lincoln (1987) uses a similar approach to another monumental figure. The result is a carefully researched biography, extended by a wealth of well-chosen b&w photos presented with clarity and precision . . . easily the best biography of its subject available at this level".--Kirkus Reviews, pointer review. 125 archival photos and prints.
